Take a look at this, 1300HP Twin Turbo Right-Hand Drive Chevy C10 – A Farm Truck Gone Full Savage!
When you think of a 1967 Chevy C10, you probably imagine a farm truck with rust, charm, and not much horsepower. But Robert’s custom-built right-hand drive C10 is here to obliterate those expectations. With a Nelson Racing twin-turbo V8 pumping out 1300 horsepower, this truck is a no-compromise restomod masterpiece that blends show car styling with street-scorching performance.
🔥 From Humble Long Bed to Twin Turbo Monster
What started as a simple long bed C10 has undergone a radical transformation. The factory bed was chopped into a short bed setup and paired with a SpeedTech full chassis designed for aggressive stance and superior handling. The builder pushed boundaries by moving the firewall back five inches to accommodate massive 3.5-inch exhaust piping and low ride height without sacrificing performance.
🏁 Powerhouse Under the Hood: 1300HP Twin-Turbo LS
At the heart of the build is a 427ci Dart-based LS engine from Nelson Racing, equipped with twin 72mm turbos. This setup generates a verified 1300 horsepower at the wheels, with a Tick Performance Stage 4 T-56 Magnum transmission and a Ford 9-inch full floater rear end to handle the torque.
And yes—it sounds as angry as it looks. A front-exit wastegate dump lets this beast scream like a banshee under boost.
🛠️ Custom Fabrication and Right-Hand Drive Twist
One of the most unique aspects of this truck is its right-hand drive configuration. Robert, a lefty, prefers shifting with his dominant hand. Thanks to the symmetrical design of the C10’s dash, the conversion was surprisingly clean and visually seamless.
The turbo plumbing, firewall, custom mounts, and inner fenders were all meticulously fabricated to support wide wheels and tires (335mm up front, 345mm in the rear) without air suspension—just coilovers and a whole lot of stance.
🧱 Patina, Interior & Tech: Rugged Meets Refined
The truck retains its original patina, polished just enough to bring out its character without hiding its history. Inside, the cabin boasts original Buddy Bucket seats, a Holley digital dash, two-step control, boost dial with six power levels, and even power windows and a sound system. It’s vintage cool meets modern tech.
Oh—and it has four cupholders. Priorities.
🎯 Daily Driver Feel with Track-Ready Performance
Despite the power, the ride is remarkably smooth. The SpeedTech chassis, custom suspension, and wide rubber make this build feel planted, comfortable, and confidence-inspiring—even at full 1300HP.
Robert designed the truck to be street-friendly, yet track-capable, proving that massive power doesn’t have to come at the expense of drivability.
💰 Want to Own It? This Beast Is for Sale
This one-of-a-kind C10 is actually for sale—and it could be yours for $180,000. Considering the cost of the twin-turbo engine, custom chassis, and fabrication hours, it’s an incredible value for what might be one of the cleanest, most powerful C10 builds ever put on the road.
